Definitely for a festive party occasion from Gerard Mulot... Oddly grey-colored macarons? What do you think? Odd or edible? Lenotre had thisswirling tower of macarons in their shop and I stole a shot.A quite unique fruit and (no not veg), but macaron tower from Dalloyau at Gallerie Lafayette.At the Salon du Chocolat, this very real tree of pistache macarons from Sadaharu Aoki.No macs but a very attractive tower of coffee cups in Cafe Richard's boutique window.

Strictly fruit for those abstaining from pumpkin pie, seen at Chateau Vaux le Vicomte. A tower of French marshmallows or guimauve anyone?Dalloyau's chocolate tower before I got the chastising finger. At Printemps, these towers of Xmas lights - inedible I'm afraid...BON HOLIDAY!

That's it! I'm trying to be good. I set a goal (in the interest of keeping a flat stomach) to not eat any macarons until December 1 - when the églantine, figue & foie gras macarons arrive at Pierre Hermé. But thanks to your post today - with the mouth-watering photos and beautiful illustrations - I'm losing my resolve and am ducking out of the office to head to Pierre's. Thanks!

Carol,Those cherubs are so cute I just want to pinch their little chunky hienys! You are getting better and better in your watercolor endeavors, without losing your special flair(s) that make you unique. I would love for my 6th grader to email you some questions (she's an aspiring artist) would that be OK?And as for those macarons, I think I will have to make some today! They are a real pain to make in the humidity of Florida, but oh so worth it!! (French pastries are MY art, and achilles LOL!)Have a wonderful day and keep those creative juices flowing,Cake BunnyRobynn-Could you send some our way???

When will those shopkeepers learn which side their bread is buttered on? Our national budget deficit pales in comparision with the macaron deficit! Why dozens - no - hundreds and thousands of Americans with no interest in France whatsoever are now poised to take that trans-Altantic jaunt in pursuit of macarons, macarons and more macarons. Listen up, shopkeepers: Leave PB ALONE!!!!
